Pamela Ling disappearance: Allegations of harassment not true, says MACC
PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has acted according to the law in the investigation involving Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh. In a statement on Wednesday (May 7), the MACC said that allegations of harassment had no basis. "It must be emphasised that, at every stage, the MACC has acted within the legal framework, including obtaining all necessary court orders and adhering to the established procedures. Allegations of harassment or misconduct are unfounded. "Meanwhile, the judicial review filed by Pamela Ling prior to her disappearance does not negate or invalidate the ongoing investigation into the alleged offences. Legal challenges are the right of any individual but do not impede the enforcement process as provided by law," it said. The MACC added that police were now leading investigations on her disappearance and that the MACC was fully cooperating with police. "Accordingly, the MACC urges all parties to refrain from speculation that could hinder the investigation or create confusion among the public. At this stage, our shared priority should be to provide full cooperation to the authorities so that efforts to locate and safely return Pamela Ling can proceed smoothly, safely, and as swiftly as possible," it said. Regarding the timeline of investigation into the corruption and money laundering cases involving Pamala, the MACC said that an investigation paper had been opened on May 28 last year. "To complete the investigation, the MACC also traced and summoned Pamela Ling to attend the MACC headquarters to give a statement. However, she failed to cooperate. "As a result, on Dec 2 2024, an arrest warrant for Pamela Ling was obtained from the Putrajaya Magistrate's Court for the offence of failing to comply with the order to attend an interview for the purpose of completing the investigation. Subsequently, on Jan 8 2025, a joint operation with the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) of Singapore was launched, and Pamela Ling was lawfully apprehended and brought back to Malaysia," it said. Following her arrest she was then brought to the Putrajaya courts where she was remanded from Jan 9 to Jan 11 before being granted bail. "On April 9, the MACC requested Pamela Ling to attend the MACC headquarters to continue her statement recording following new information obtained by the MACC. Based on this information, the MACC also sought and obtained approval and an order from the deputy public prosecutor to retain Pamela Ling's travel documents by serving her with a Notice of Surrender of Travel Documents under Section 44(1) of the MACC Act 2009. "However, Pamela Ling failed to attend on that day, and her lawyer subsequently lodged a police report regarding her disappearance on the same day," it said. Pamela's lawyer, N. Sivananthan, reportedly said he had seen a police report filed by the e-hailing driver, who claimed his car was intercepted just before reaching the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya. The driver also claimed three cars were involved, and that a man wearing a police vest and a woman in police uniform allegedly asked Pamela to follow them. Pamela's brother, Simon Ling Wan Siong, previously said she was abducted in Kuala Lumpur while on her way to meet MACC officers. As of Sunday, no ransom demand had been made in connection with her disappearance.
